The American Free Press is a weekly newspaper published in the United States.
The newspaper's direct ancestor was The Spotlight, which ceased publication in 2001 when its parent organization, Liberty Lobby, was forced into bankruptcy. One of the paper's founders was Willis Carto, an influential white supremacist who promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial.
The Southern Poverty Law Center considers it a hate group and says that it "carries stories on Zionism, secret 'New World Order' conspiracies, American Jews and Israel." One of the newspaper's ex-contract reporters, Christopher Bollyn, has advocated on behalf of the 9/11 Truth Movement. The Anti-Defamation League has criticised the newspaper and, in particular, Bollyn for linking of prominent figures in the Jewish community with the events of September 11, 2001, and in September 2006 attacked the newspaper for disseminating "antisemitic propaganda".
Pro-Israel conservative activists, such as Kenneth R. Timmerman, have criticized contributors to the American Free Press. In a May 2011 article, contributor Mark Dankof protested the British government's attempt to shut down Press TV, blaming it on "media outlets and correspondents with provable connections to the American Jewish lobby; Israeli intelligence; and Neo-Conservatives thirsting for a War of Civilizations with Iran specifically, and the Islamic world generally." In a May 2011 article, Dankof also quoted from and wrote that the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion accurately reflect the state of the world. He lauded PressTV as one of the few exceptions to the Jewish control of the media.

“Are there professional protesters?”, I think this came up a while back. The LA Times did a story:
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-crowds-extortion-20181021-story.html
I find it fascinating. Completely undermines all protests. One can’t assume that any outpouring of outrage is not just an elaborate ruse.

Here’s another article. This time from CNN

And that’s ironic when you consider that they’ve been caught taking tight shots of protests to make them appear larger than they are.
Truly this is amazing. Again, why does Trump’s anti-media rhetoric resonate with people? Because the media has earned it. Their very reaction to his attacks, digging in their heels for the battle, shows a mindset beneath the profession. Which is because the industry is not high-minded. They want to beat Trump.
And now, really, can any protest be taken seriously? Paid protestors who could not care less about whatever they are yelling about, in front of news cameras positioned to exaggerate their size and news people with a vested interest in making sure you keep watching this big event!
It is all a sham. All of it.

Anybody who honestly thinks that is a garbage pail of a person.
